Increase Airflow with a Dedicated Ventilation System

The ‘V’ in HVAC stands for ventilation, and most properties already have some form or other to generate consistent airflow. But even though a duct system was installed doesn’t mean it’s as efficient as it can be. In fact, poor design and minor gaps can influence how smoothly air flows from the supply vent to the return vent. In tandem with the tight seal between indoor and outdoor air, this subsequently results in greater concentrations of pollutants.

Other factors can warrant purchasing a ventilation system, such as:

The regional climate and nearby sources of air pollution: Outdoor pollution like smog can gradually get inside your home by using cracks and gaps in doors and windows, making it more difficult to breathe clean air inside. If you live in the vicinity of industries like manufacturing or mining, this can exacerbate the problem. Even the local climate can have an impact; for example, air pressure systems can stall large amounts of outdoor pollution in the same geographic area, which in turn worsens air quality.

Increased indoor pollutants: Excessive quantities of dust, VOCs and other debris can be a problem, particularly if you don’t have enough time to keep up with cleaning. One way to address this is to strengthen ventilation, which can help air flow through the property more efficiently and prevent dust from coating various surfaces. If you’ve noticed a lot of dust buildup indoors, it may be a sign that the air filters could stand to be replaced.

Renovation or new construction projects: Large renovations can be gratifying, but they could also create new difficulties for the HVAC system. A large change in the amount of square footage, for example, can cause difficult hot and cold spots along with other airflow issues.
